HOSTAL EIXAMPLE, Barcelona

This central location puts you within a 4-minute walk of the Born and Gòtic neighbourhoods. Urquinaona Metro Station is just 50 metres away, connecting directly to the rest of Barcelona. The Aerobus from the airport stops at Plaza Catalunya, which is a 7-minute walk from the property. Most major attractions, shops and restaurants are easily reachable on foot, making this a practical base for walking-based exploration. The area is safe and well-served by public transport, with several restaurants and cafés within a 3-minute walk.

The property is a small hotel/hostel with just 8 rooms. All rooms are air-conditioned and include a private bathroom, though some bathrooms are very compact and the shower space may be tight for taller guests. Rooms vary: street-facing units offer natural light and a small balcony, while interior-facing rooms have windows that look onto an inner shaft and are darker. Room sizes are typically small, and some feel cramped. Some rooms are soundproofed, but overall sound insulation is limited, so noise from the lift, reception and neighbouring rooms can be heard. Daily cleaning is included. The shared lounge features free coffee and tea, a communal fridge and a cosy atmosphere.

The continental buffet includes bread, pastries, and hot drinks, and a breakfast-to-go option is available. Several restaurants and cafés are within a 3-minute walk, including Kingsman, La Tagliatella Ausias March and Bruc33Tapas, offering a variety of cuisines. The shared dining/living room provides a pleasant space for meals.

The property offers a games room with board games and puzzles, and a shared lounge/TV area with outdoor furniture. Bicycle rental is available at an additional charge. The surrounding area is very walkable and close to major landmarks, making the hotel itself more of a base for exploration rather than a leisure destination.

Staff are available at reception from 09:00 and provide concierge service, tour desk, express check-in/out and private check-in/out. Luggage storage is free and accessible before check-in and after check-out. Daily housekeeping is free. The property has a lift, air conditioning, heating and is non-smoking throughout. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV in common areas, fire extinguishers and key card access. Baby safety gates, board games, a playpen, cots and an indoor play area are available for families. A vending machine (drinks) is on site.
